Good morning and hello from Nozawa.
We've got more snow this morning to report, between 20-40cm according to the resort and there's definitely a good new layer of snow to shovel outside here in the village too.
Light snow expected today especially on higher slopes, maybe some sun tomorrow along with cloud. More snow over the weekend.
Glad to see that it seems set to remain cold so snow conditions should be a keeper.
This coming Monday, the 12th, is a national holiday here in Japan and there'll be a few events happening at Nozawa. Including a 'mochi-tsuki taikai' event hosted by everyone's favourite vegetable Nasuki, over at the Hikage Information Centre at 10:30am and 2pm. No less exciting is the 7:50am start by the Nagasaka Gondola to take lucky people up for first tracks. Or so it the resort tells me. That one sounds good.
As the coming weekend is a 3 day long one, it's one of the peak weekends of the season so expect a fair few people here in Nozawa.
